Company History


This company was formed to grow and export tea from the Sylhet or Srimongel regions of western Bangladesh (close to Western Cachar). When this part of the country became Eastern Pakistan the Company applied for a reduction in capital in 1962. However it has continued to survive on a very small scale with modest returns. The current directors are now based in Bangladesh and the company appears to no longer control any plantations. It may be that the company remains as a way of controlling investments purchased with the capital gained from selling the company's tea estates.
